This Post is Quisquilious
NPR ran a gripping story on a man who read through the entire Oxford English Dictionary in a year. Here is a list of some words he came across that he particularly relished. After reading it, you will know what to call that smell, how to describe when you're off your "A" game in kissing, an eloquent way to describe a hussy, & how to term your trek towards forming a good marriage, among other things. Forgive me if this blog entry comes across as twi-thought. If you enjoyed this post, feel free to bedinner me!
